Anastasia was holding her two month pregnant stomach as she was looking over at the white paint in the nursery, sitting down in the rocking chair. She was very happy that she was going to be a mother to her and Mary's desired children that she had wanted for so long. The former grand duchess then felt arms around her chest and a single tanned hand was on her bump that was showing a little through the soft white white dress complete with long flowy sleeves and patterns of flowers on the hem. "Hi, Mary." She said, her soft Russian accent slipping through.

"Ana.. I missed you."

"You just miss our child." Said Anastasia as a cute pout formed on her lips. "Yes, them too." She said, kissing her temple as the Russian smiled as her fair skinned hand went on top of hers. Her eyes shifted to the white coated wall, her cornflower orbs dimming a little. "What's wrong, love?" The Russian softly sighed before her eyes started glistening with tears. "This is reminding me of the time you and Anne got arrested and sentenced to death, along me and Tatiana watching.." tiny sobs escaped the woman as Mary gently held her in her arms, being mindful of the baby inside her.
(Flashback!)
"The charges, Sir. I'll hear them again."

"Milord. His majesty's court contends that the defendants, Mary Read and Anne Bonny, did piratically, feloniously and in a hostile manner, attack, engage and take seven certain fishing boats... Secondly, this Court contends that the defendants lurked upon the high seas and did set upon, shoot at, and take, two certain merchant sloops, thus putting the captains and their crews in corporeal fear of their lives." Anastasia and Tatiana were frozen, shaking with equal parts rage and sadness.

"Your lying! My Anne would never do such a thing!" Said Tatiana before she was hit in the head, causing Anne to growl. "Bloody touch her again, I'll kill you!" She screamed at the man who hit her beloved Grand Duchess. Tatiana quickly recovered and shook her head. "I'm ok, Anne.. I swear, hang on and I'll have the family get you and Mary out so we can finally be engaged.. I promise." She said to Anne in Russian, earning a smile from the Irish woman before their attention was turned back, what the judge said shook her and Anastasia to their cores.

"...you, Mary Read and Anne Bonny, are to go from hence to the place from whence you came, and from thence to the place of execution; where you shall be severally hanged by the neck till you are severally dead, dead, dead." Anastasia's eyes started glistening with tears that were to be shed as Tatiana struggled to get the guards off her. "O rot!" Tatiana heard Anne say, her body shivering with heartbreak. Tears threatened to roll down Anastasia's face as she closed her eyes.

"May god in his infinite mercy be merciful to each of your souls.." just then, Mary cut him off. " We're pregnant!" Anastasia then noticed that Mary and Anne's stomachs were slightly rounded as she gasped. It did seem that those two had tricks up there sleeves. "Do you all hear that?" Anastasia and Tatiana were silent, hearing them speak. "What the devil did she say?" Tatiana was frozen in shock along with Anastasia. "They plead their bellies, milord." Anne grinned. "Aye! You can't hang a woman quick with child, can ya?" That meant the sisters had time to save their lovers from their deaths.

"Quiet! Quiet! If what you claim is true, then your executions will be stayed, but ONLY until your terms are up." Tatiana had to stifle a giggle from what her irish love said to that. "Then I'll be up the duff the next time you come knocking!" She said. "Remove them!" They then watched their lovers taken away, whispering their names. That was then the women had enough. "Would you girls like a turn?" Anastasia smirked as Tatiana giggled. "Of course." The two Russians walked to the center as their expressions hardened. The women then took off the necklaces they were wearing, Anastasia's was red with a deep blue gem in the center shaped like a crescent moon while Tatiana's was silver with a deep green gem in it's center shaped like a sun.

That was the day the two vengeful Russians casted a curse on the people who ever wronged them using those necklaces. Only when they reunited in the next life, would it be lifted.
(End of flashback!)
Anastasia stopped crying, sensing her aura. She knew Mary hated when she cried like that, hence why she was so protective of her back then and now. She never wanted to die.. but she knew that if she didn't, she wouldn't have reunited with the love of her life. "Are you ok, Ana?" Asked the former pirate as the former grand duchess nodded. "Good, I told myself the day you told me you were pregnant that I wouldn't die during a heist." She said, watching Anastasia nuzzle her face into her coat. "It took me a month and a week to tell you because I wasn't sure how to tell you, you know." She said, making her way to the curtains to close them.

The wedding band on her finger glittered in the sunlight that was in the crack the closed curtains had. Anastasia gasped, feeling a soft kick in the stomach. "That's right, sweetheart, mommy was talking about you." She said, placing her hand on it. "And that means your mama is going to be a mama bear." She said, giggling when she heard a loud "hey! I heard that!" from the super thief. "Your going to be the second death of me, Ana." She said, peppering her wife's face with kisses. "Stop it, you~" she said, her laughter like soft bells as she wrapped her arms around the pirate she loved with her heart as she smiled.

"After so many years, you returned to me, Mary.."

"And I plan to never let go.. ever, my Anastasia."
